Use electricity sparingly

Power, Energy and Business Development Ministry requests consumers to use electricity wisely and sparingly as the prevalent dry and warm weather conditions experienced in the country has led to a tremendous increase in electricity consumption.

The maximum recorded daily electricity demand of Sri Lanka 42.4 GWh was recorded on March 7, 2019 and the hydro power generation has been limited to 20%.

“The government is currently taking necessary measures to ensure a continuous flow of electricity, but the consumers’ support is very much essential to make it a success,” Ministry sources said.
